Question

I am a salaried hairdresser, and the only vacation I have is during the Nine Days until two days after Tisha B'Av. We are flying with two children for the entire duration and are limited in space. I wanted to ask about laundry. Can I do laundry for myself and my husband during the week when Tisha B'Av does not fall? Maybe by throwing the clothes on the floor afterward or something like that... And another question, is it possible to shop for clothes during the week when Tisha B'Av does not fall?

Answer

Hello 
There is no permission to do laundry. 
Make your purchases in the days leading up to the Nine Days.
